St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast

This post is super late, but if you’re last minute like me I hope it can be super inspiring. As you know, I like to celebrate holidays with my kids by making them a special breakfast. From holiday themed tableware to holiday themed food, I try to make it pretty special for them. Last year, we celebrated St. Patrick’s day with a breakfast from “Lucky the Leprechaun” and a scavenger hunt for his pot of gold.

“Lucky” left them a bag of Lucky Charms cereal which could be eaten then or saved as a snack for later.

I made them a Pot of Gold at the End of a Rainbow. For the rainbow I used strawberries, cantaloupe, pineapple, green grapes, blueberries, and purple grapes. I used powdered donuts for the clouds, a pancake cut to make a pot, and scrambled eggs for the gold.

They also got milk which I colored green with a tiny bit of green food coloring and a paper straw with a couple of fruit loops to make a rainbow.

In the center of the table were some gold coins and the first clue to begin the scavenger hunt for the pot of gold.

Madison read the clues which had the girls scrambling room to room.

Until at last, the pot of gold was in the fridge. They were rewarded with skittles and little chocolate coins as a treat.

I enjoy making my children smile with these little breakfast treats, but these special breakfasts are truly a treat because they don’t get to eat Lucky Charms, Fruit Loops, donuts, and candy on a regular basis…although they’d love to! I started the Lucky Charms tradition years ago, but wanted to add another element with the fruit. Looking back at it now, it was a lot, but they had fun and made memories and that’s all the matters to me. Now I’m off to set up tomorrow’s special breakfast.
